[jwells]

I am interested in a GB

[celicarocker]

do they make one for an auto? if they do, ill buy....

[Anub1s]

ummm.... why in the hell would you need a short shifter for an auto? lol sorry but that sounds kind of rediculous to me, plus I have never heard of them before. Most automatic shifters are electronic now a days and just tells the tranny where to shift to. Maybe you could speed up the signal?

BTW : I would be interested in a GB for that.

[Punch]

playr158 e-mail me when you get some thing!
The retail for the TMW short shifter are $128+ shipping!

[playr158]

sorry guys, no response yet ill keep you updated

[BigEdge169]

I might be interested but I don't want to add my name until there are more details. I hate having to back out so that's why I don't want my name on the list just yet...

[tysO]

how much is the TRD short shifter?

[Digndoug]

I think the trd is around 160-180... but isnt as much loss .. but i think more have it, it also comes with the knob...

[playr158]

yea it comes with a knob and 40% MORE shift.......the TWM is 60% LESS than stock and you can use the knob you have or get a new one.....hopefully the gb will work and the cost savings will be enough so we can get a knob too with out exceeding the MSRP of the twm shifter


ok this is like 3 days later and i still havn't heard from anyone that i sent an email too - (3 companies) hey PUNCH if you would send an email to TWM to help grab sum attention, i mean i've already gotten 3 emails from varis about a hood in 1 day i don't understand why these people arn't responding

AND WE ARE SET

TWM and a local distributor both contacted me and are willing to do it...which everone comes out cheaper i'll go with...so far i've determined that if ALL the shifters are shipped to me then we will save money if i reship them out to everyone else if we go with TWM....
or if we go with the local company then i will go pick them up and ship them out

I NEED a list of people READY WITH MONEY

SEND ME A PM to be added to the list if you do not PM me you will not be on this list
or you can IM me at srplayr158 on AOL IM

ballpark- 100-130$ w/o ship

[DustyBurns30]

i would like to get in on this but i would really like to know for sure who we are getting the shifters from and a more exact price. if it's only going to save me like $20 i'll just save myself the hassle.

thanks

[playr158]

thats up to TWM to decide or the Company by my house i'm waiting for them to give me a price so i can get US the BEST PRICE possible

i'm waiting for them to reply to my email i sent last night(although ptuning has a "lowest price guarantee "

[slipgun]

What hastle? Sending your money to someone else and letting them take care of ordering for 20$ less? Sounds good to me:) Besides if your worried about getting scammed I live next to playr im goin today to go talk to the local dealer as well, hes an honest guy and nothings gona happen to your money. I want a damn shifter too
EDIT : VA MD People were all pretty close to eachother playr and I live near dc and fairfax, so if you live close enough and wana pick up, I dont think he will have a problem with it.

[DustyBurns30]

yeah, i don't have a problem with trusting playr, it's just if it's an awesome deal then i would want to get in on it but if not then i have other things to buy right now. but we'll see...

[Sev408]

hey you have a pm, if i do this then how about i just drive to your house and pick it up or you can meet me somewhere, since im 10 minutes away
